Workers Comp in North Narrabeen — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
You can be hurt teaching a surf lesson at North Narrabeen and still be looking at the same NSW claim as a carpenter who wrecks a back on a beachfront renovation. Both need a doctor to examine the injury and issue a Certificate of Capacity setting out what you can safely do. Our doctors handle that paperwork, and the shoulder or ankle rehabilitation afterwards is delivered by our physios and funded by the insurer.

Workers Comp in North Narrabeen — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in North NarrabeenGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor issues this on the first visit. It’s the legal document that proves you have a work injury and tells the insurer how much you can work and what treatment you need. No paperwork on your end — the doctor handles it.
Notify your employer
You’re legally required to tell your employer about a work injury — a text or email is enough. Once they get your Certificate of Capacity, they pass it to their workers comp insurer. The claim opens, and wages and treatment get covered from that point.
Common workers comp claims in North Narrabeen
Workers comp claims in North Narrabeen most often come from the local hospitality and retail workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
North Narrabeen sits at the mouth of Narrabeen Lagoon, with locals working across the surf and beach businesses along Ocean Street, hospitality, retail and the construction trades servicing the surrounding peninsula homes. WorkCover claims here often involve surf-school shoulder dislocations, lifeguard ankle and wrist injuries, kitchen burns and wait-staff slips along the lagoon strip, plus the lower-back damage carpenters develop renovating beachfront blocks.
